[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you were growing up, did you think it was appropriate for your mother to secretly pick up the phone in the kitchen and listen into your conversations with your friends on the phone in their bedroom?  How about reading your diary?  How about putting her ear to the basement door while you're with your friends?

Today's standards should be no different.

This was going to be my response exactly. I have no doubt my mom did all these things to me when I was a teen. It is an invasion of privacy and destroys trust.
 
If you demonstrate to your kid that you trust them, they will act in a trustworthy manner.[/quote]

Teens can be quite good at presenting one front while living another. Just as we all were at that age.[/quote]

I didn't do that when I was a teen. My dad gave me privacy, my mom pried. So I talked to my dad about big issues. But I didn't hide who I was and I certainly didn't live another life.

I sometimes think parent/teen relationships on this site are so messed up. [/quote]
